Actually, my game's performance is now dying in a similar way. I appear to be running out of RAM. I only have 8GB. I reach a point where my GPU is doing almost nothing because something else is bottle-necking. RAM is the only thing getting even close to maximum use. Not physical, but system commit exceeds my actual RAM, so it's likely paging my SSD.
It's the same straight away if I start on high or highest texture settings. My frame rate is choked even though my GPU isn't doing much.
I've put my texture settings on lowest to deal with it, and my FPS starts in the 70s, but drops to a painful 24 or so by the end of a 2v2.
I'm willing to conclude there is probably a serious memory issue with the game. How much RAM do you have, Arclyte?
Edit: Might not be RAM. I stayed under 8GB system commit that time, and I still lost the FPS. So I dunno.
G'day Cyanara,
I'll give your guide a read.
Hopefully it helps counter CoH2's poorly optimization as I've always had issues myself.
Do you find the game is more GPU or CPU intensive? I know the game only uses 4 cores. So, I'll probably stick with my i5 3570k and shop around for a decent GPU. Your guide was helpful as you have a good range of benchmarks.
Why not reference these in your guide ?
